Automated Netflix Competitive Release Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Netflix, checks new releases in the genres a production company tracks for competitive intelligence, logs each title on a competitive board in Trello, and posts the week's scorecard to Microsoft Teams so development knows what's already been made before pitching something close to it.
How do I track Netflix's new releases for competitive intelligence?
WebRun checks Netflix every Monday for new releases in tracked genres, logs each title on a competitive board in Trello, and posts a scorecard to Microsoft Teams. Production companies and development teams see what's already been made in their space before pitching or greenlighting something too close to it.
- Development sees a competitive overlap before greenlighting
- The full genre landscape is tracked weekly, not sporadically
- A dated history of releases builds automatically on Trello

Questions, answered
Does it stream or download any Netflix content?
No. WebRun only reads the public new releases listing. It never streams, downloads, or redistributes any content.
How does it decide what overlaps a project in development?
It compares the genre and format of each new release against the team's own tracked project list, so only genuine overlaps get flagged, not every release in a broad category.
How far back does the competitive board go?
Every week's releases stay on the Trello board, so the team can look back at the full competitive landscape over time, not just the current week.
